Contracts

The backbone of law is the contract. An agreement between two or more people or entities is the foundation of all business and real estate dealings. When entering into agreements, having an attorney advise you and draft the agreement for you (typically for a flat fee) can save time, money, and likely prevent future disputes. After entering into agreements, modification or performance of the terms can lead to disputes. In such situations having an attorney to review, draft and advise you can be invaluable. Assly Sayyar has years of experience negotiating, drafting, editing, and modifying a variety of real estate and business agreements to prevent future disputes as much as possible and allow you to move forward with your business or real estate transaction with confidence.

Civil Litigation

When all other avenues fail, Assly Sayyar can bring her skills as a trial attorney to bear in your case to either prosecute your claims or defend you against claims in the areas of business and real estate. With Assly Sayyar working on your lawsuit you will have an advocate who knows the court system and will walk you through the process from complaint to trial. If there are obstacles and downsides to a choice or a situation in a lawsuit, they will be discussed openly and frankly so you are prepared for both your “best day” as well as your “worst outcome,” prior to making litigation decisions. Assly Sayyar practices preventative law, but when prevention isn’t possible, she will work with you to seek a speedy resolution in court, and to the extent legally possible, the fulfillment of your goals.

Estate Planning

A lawyer is an invaluable partner in preparing for your financial and personal future. If you don’t take the time to plan for yourself, upon your death, retirement, disability, or incapacity the law will plan for you. If you leave things up to the law it can prove time consuming and expensive for your loved ones and contrary to your actual personal and business wishes. Some planning ahead of time can lessen the burden on your family if you become incapacitated or when you pass away. Whether you reside in Nevada or California, Assly Sayyar can assist you in preparing an Estate Plan which includes a trust, pour over wills, trust assignment documents, financial durable powers of attorney, health care directives, and other documents that reflect your final wishes.

Through the use of buy/sell agreements and other succession planning documents, Assly Sayyar can ensure that your corporate and company entities also transition smoothly upon your passing or incapacity. If you simply want to sell your business at retirement, succession planning documents can also help prevent lengthy legal battles between business partners regarding the valuation of business. Moreover, with the input of a client’s financial advisors and certified public accountant succession planning can assist in minimizing tax burdens. These legal documents are not just for the extremely wealthy. Without an estate plan even small business owners and regular everyday families can leave an expensive and time consuming probate behind when they die. A little preparation beforehand can save your family a great deal of stress and heartache. You can make sure your wishes are known and your family is protected in the future through estate and succession planning.
